Fundraisers in the works for injured Smith.
The motocross industry is rallying together to support one of its own, after 18-year old Justin Smith sustained a closed-head injury during a practice session at the San Diego Supercross event last weekend.
Smith has been in critical condition since the accident prior to round two of the AMA Supercross event, and is still in an induced coma to control cerebral swelling.
The motocross industry is rallying together to support one of its own, after 18-year old Justin Smith sustained a closed-head injury during a practice session at the San Diego Supercross event last weekend.
Smith has been in critical condition since the accident prior to round two of the AMA Supercross event, and is still in an induced coma to control cerebral swelling.
According to AMA EA Sports Supercross series doctor John Bodnar, Smith had a repeat CT scan on Wednesday night and there was no significant change found from the previous scan, proof that the blood clot in his brain has not enlarged. Bodnar is keeping in close contact with his doctors and the Smith family and will keep AMA Pro Racing updated on his condition.
The industry has organised a number of ways to support the Smith family, and fans can send messages of support to Smith and his family at the hospital in San Diego. Cards should be addressed to Sharp's Memorial Hospital, c/o Admissions, Justin Smith, SICU Room 2, 7901 Frost St, San Diego, CA 92123. E-mail can be sent directly to the hospital as well.
